So what's the Longest Day?
Set off around 4 pm, whenever suits you and at your own pace, on a pre-set route. Everyone meets around 21:00 at a beautiful camp spot for a night of campfire, beers and stories.
Next morning everyone continues whenever they like, almost always past great water spots, finishing back at the start around 10–11.
The ride is relaxed, non-competitive and purely social. Every month, a Longest Day somewhere new.
